Roccie Hill is an American writer and photographer living currently in California.  A native of southern California, she studied Philosophy at UCLA, where she worked with Angela Davis, and Creative Writing at San Francisco State University, where her short stories appeared regularly in the literary quarterly, Transfer.. 

She volunteered for the United FarmWorkers with Cesar Chavez during the lettuce strike in Salinas, wrote lyrics for rock bands, and worked for a major entertainment law firm in Los Angeles during the 70s and 80s, before moving to Europe.

In Paris, she married an English journalist, gave birth to a daughter, and worked as a photo-journalist and teacher of Creative Writing. After several years of residing in the old Marais district of central Paris, she and her family moved to a small medieval village on the road to Versailles, where her large country home became a gathering place for the international artistic community in the Chevreuse Valley, and weekends brought together expatriate poets, photographers, painters, and musicians from all over the world for long-lasting celebrations of the arts.

At this time, she began work in the nonprofit world in France, and was the Marketing Officer for the Official French Committee for the Celebration of the Centennial of the Statue of Liberty.

In 1986, Roccie moved to Oxford, England, where she continued her nonprofit work. She produced a variety of short films and celebrity/royal events during her seven years working in the UK.

In 1995, Roccie and her daughter returned to the United States, to San Francisco, where Roccie became the Executive Director of Earth Share of California. Her daughter, Nicola, attended the International High School there, graduating as Valedictorian.

Roccie currently lives in Palm Springs, where she is the Executive Director of Guide Dogs of the Desert. Her daughter is a pilot and Captain in the United States Air Force.
